Activities

NanoDays at the KY Science Center

NanoDays is an event introducing a variety of STEMcareers and activities to our next-generation scientistsand provides them the opportunity to interact withnanotechnology professionals. This career-focusedscience celebration features extra interactivemicro/nano experiences, local professionals from or KYMultiscale-Manufacturing site (MMNIN), hands-onactivities, and powerful demonstrations regarding micro-nanotechnology. This event is hosted annually at theKentucky Science Center in partnership with MMNIN.

New REU Program in Micro/NanotechnologyIMPACT

(Interdisciplinary Micro/nanotechnology Program Addressing Challenges Today)

Our student group includes several first generation college students from our Kentucky feeder colleges, 3 females, 1 Native American and 2 Hispanic students. Represented schools include Cornell, Virginia Tech, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, New Mexico State, Furman, Morehead, Centre, Berea, and Bellarmine. All students receive a unique NNCI-related hands-on cleanroom experience where they each fabricate and test a photovoltaic device. In addition to that, all of the individual faculty-mentored research projects involve some aspect of micro/nanotechnology.

Japanese NIMS Graduate Exchange Program

Two graduate students were awardees of an internship by the Nanotechnology Platform of Japan for nanotechnology research in the United States during the summer of 2016. This program is administered by the National Institute of Materials Science in Japan (NIMS), and in the US by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure site at Cornell (NNCI-CNF) as a student exchange program between the Nanotechnology Platform and NNCI.

UK REU Program in Engineering Bioactive Interfaces and Devices

UK currently has a REU program in Engineered Bioactive Interfaces and Devices directed by Professor Kim Anderson. During the first week of the REU program, all students participate in a one day introduction to CeNSE and EMC capabilities and research goals. A number of these students are trained on the centers’ instrumentation and continue as users throughout the course of the summer. Before the start of the NNCI award CeNSE and the EMC supported the research of several members of the 2015 cohort.Cameron Spitzfaden (Alma College) presented his research entitled

“Surface Plasmon Resonance Imager Using a Coded-Aperture Sensor” at the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates Symposium, October 2016.

Suggestions and Comments for the Future

John Shott of our Advisory Board

1. Diversity of User Population – It is often difficult to identify a “discipline” for each project since many projects these days are so interdisciplinary. The NSF might consider replacing “disciplines” with an agreed upon list of “application areas” based upon the NSF grand challenges.

2. Not penalize the smaller EPSCoR sites (Montana, Nebraska, Kentucky) for increasing their number of internal users when collecting site statistics. When evaluating the ratio of external users to internal users, perhaps use a constant baseline (year 1 for example) for the number of internal users in all calculations.
